View clinical trials related to Toxicity Due to Chemotherapy.
Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of sarcopenic status on the occurrence of treatment-related toxicity during the first course of anti-cancer treatment in several types of cancers. The main question it aims to answer is : Is sarcopenia a predictive marker for the occurrence of toxicity in the initial phase of cancer treatment? The evaluation will focus on the body composition of the participants, assessed by impedancemetry, and on their muscular performance by standardized physical tests.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate whether daily physical activities measured with a smartphone are related to the possible side effects or other physical complaints that arise as a result of cancer treatment. The investigators want to test whether the number of steps per day, both before and during treatment, are related to possible side effects or other physical complaints of the treatment using a smartphone. Knowledge about this relationship gives us possible starting points to prevent and/or reduce side effects and improve treatment outcomes. Additional research would then be needed. The investigators also want to investigate whether these daily measurements are feasible for patients undergoing treatment. Participation in the study involves measuring daily physical activity from the week before treatment until the first 3 months of treatment have been completed. This is done by tracking daily steps with patients own phone using the OncoSTAPP application.
The goal of this observational study is to learn how gonadotoxic treatments (chemotherapies, radiotherapies or immunotherapies) affect the fertility status of participants with cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: - in females, if cancer therapies reduce the Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration (ovarian reserve); - in males, if cancer therapies reduce sperm concentration (sperm quality).
The aim of the trial is to investigate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of perioperative chemotherapy with leucovorin, oxaliplatin, docetaxel and S-1 (LOTS) in patients with locally advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who receive a curative surgery.
Investigators will evaluate the safety and feasibility of a biomarker-guided cardioprotection strategy using NTproBNP, as compared to usual care, in breast cancer and lymphoma patients treated with anthracyclines.
Investigators will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of a risk-guided cardioprotective treatment strategy with carvedilol, as compared to usual care, in breast cancer patients undergoing treatment with doxorubicin, trastuzumab, or the combination.
Cisplatin, anthracyclines, bleomycin and trastuzumab can cause severe cardiovascular or pulmonary toxicity. Why some patients are susceptible to extreme toxicity of cancer treatment is largely unknown. Unraveling extreme cardiovascular toxic responses in cancer patients may help understand the pathophysiology of cardiovascular toxicity of these agents and help in understanding the more subtle, long-term cardiovascular side effects that affect a larger part of cancer survivors. With induced pluripotent stem cells we will obtain patient-derived cells to recapitulate and mimic and study pathological (cardiovascular) responses and (cardiovascular) toxicity in vitro.
The present project will develop an automated machine learning approach using multi-modality data (imaging, laboratory, electrocardiography and questionnaire) to increase the understanding and prediction of arising heart failure in patients scheduled for cardio-toxic chemotherapy. This algorithmus will be developed by the technical cooperation partner at Technion, the institut for biomedical engineering in Haifa, Israel.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a temporary ovarian suppression obtained by administration of a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist during alkylating agents containing chemotherapy on ovarian reserve assessed by Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serum levels in adolescents and young women with cancer.
Determine whether nutritional support with high protein ONS in adult oncologic patients in the first step of cancer cachexia - asymptomatic precachexia, influence on the toxicity of systemic therapy.
